Never learned to like the Yiddish version. I was raised on the Galicianer version which is filled with veal chunks and ham bits in a more hearty sweet and vinegar laced beet broth. The pieces of veggies and meat are cut large . Also, the addition of kimmel (caraway seed) in the broth makes a nice touch. This version is a winter soup mostly, and is enjoyed with big hunks of crusty bread.

djj, when you say "pour over cold water" do you mean to put the fruits in a pan and cover them with cold water? If that's it, should the hot water over the beets be hot tap water or boiling water?

Thanks - I like beets and the soup sounds wonderful!

Oooooh, it IS wonderfull!

My granny used to make both versions (shes originally from Ukraine), I like the one without meat in it. It can still be cooked with beef & bones, and both of them actually taste better when hot (don't enjoy cold soups much).

I'd take out the kimmel too, don't like the flavor.

What I do like (and is done traditionally) is eating it with fresh cloves of garlic (beside the country bread). Sour cream is used too, but I don't like that either Razz
